Samples  (limited  to  three  at  one  time)  of  any  mineral  found  in  the  state  may  bo 
sent  to  the  Bureau  for  identification,  and  the  same  will  be  classified  free  of  charge. 
No  samples  will  be  determined  if  received  from  points  outside  the  state.  It  must  be 
understood  tliat  no  assays  or  quantitative  determinations  will  be  made.  Samples 
should  be  in  lump  form  if  possible,  and  marked  plainly  with  name  of  sender  on  out- 
side of  package,  etc.  No  samples  will  be  received  unless  delivery  charges  are  prepaid. 
A  letter  should  accompany  sample,  giving  locality  where  mineral  was  found  and  the 
nature  of   the  information  desired.

LETTER  OF  TRANSMITTAL. 


November  1,  1917. 
Hon.  "Wm.  D.  Stephens, 

Governor  of  California. 
Sir  :  I  take  pleasure  in  transmitting  herewith  Bulletin  No.  77  of  the 
State  ^Mining  Bureau,  entitled  "Catalogue  of  the  Publications  of  the 
California  State  Mining  Bureau,  1880-1917." 

In  these  days  of  stress,  when  data  relative  to  the  availability  of  raw 
materials  to  meet  the  Nation's  needs  may  at  any  time  be  of  the  utmost 
value,  I  have  deemed  it  expedient  and  proper  to  take  this  means  of 
further  disseminating  the  fund  of  information  relative  to  California's 
mineral  industries,  which  lies  within  the  covers  of  the  reports  and 
IniUetins  of  this  Department. 
Respectfully  submitted. 

Fletcher  Hamilton, 
State  Mineralogist. 


INTRODUCTORY. 


The  California  State  Mining  Bureau  Avas  created  April  16,  1880. 
According  to  its  organic  Act  one  of  the  duties  of  the  State  Mineralogist, 
who  was  named  as  executive  head  of  the  bureau,  was  to  "*  *  *  visit 
the  several  mining  districts  of  each  county  in  the  State,  ascertain  and 
record  their  history,  describe  their  geological  formation,  the  character 
of  the  mines  and  ores  and  the  general  development  of  the  district." 
Also  "^to  obtain  and  preserve  for  public  use  such  information  respect- 
ing improvements  in  mining  and  mining  machinery  as  \vi\l  be  of 
practical  value  to  the  people  of  the  State." 

In  the  carrying  out  of  these  provisions  of  the  Act,  during  the  past 
37  years,  there  have  been  published  by  the  bureau  reports,  bulletins 
and  maps  which  go  to  make  up  a  library  of  detailed  information  as 
regards  mining  in  California,  a  large  part  of  which  could  not  be  dupli- 
cated from  any  other  source. 

One  feature  which  has  added  to  the  popularity  of  these  publications 
is  that  many  of  them  have  been  distributed  without  cost  to  the  public, 
and  even  the  more  elaborate  ones  have  been  sold  at  a  cost  to  cover  actual 
printing  charges,  only. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  this  bulletin  to  offer  a  complete  catalogue  of  these 
publications  and  convey  a  brief  idea  of  the  contents  of  each,  in  the 
belief  that  this  information  may  prove  to  be  of  value  to  the  mining- 
public  and  may  lead  to  the  further  development  of  California's  mineral 
resources. 

Owing-  to  the  fact  that  funds  for  the  advancing  of  the  work  of  this 
department  have  often  been  limited,  many  of  the  bulletins  and  reports 
mentioned  were  printed  in  limited  editions  which  are  now  entirely 
exhausted.  Copies  of  such  publications  are  available  for  reference, 
however,  at  the  bureau's  offices  in  the  Ferrj-  Building,  San  Francisco, 
Union  League  Building.  Los  Angeles,  Santa  ^laria,  Taft,  Bakersfield, 
Coalinga,  and  Santa  Paula,  as  well  as  in  many  public,  private,  and  scien- 
tific libraries  of  California  and  other  states,  and  foreign  countries. 

Those  which  are  still  in  stock  maj'  be  obtained  by  addressing  the 
State  ]Mineralogist,  Ferry  Building,  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  and  enclosing 
the  requisite  amount,  in  the  case  of  bulletins  which  have  a  list  price. 
The  Bureau  is  authorized  to  receive  only  coin,  stamps  or  money  orders, 
and  it  will  be  appreciated  if  remittance  is  made  in  this  manner  ratlier 
than  by  personal  check. 

Further  information  relative  to  any  phase  of  mining  in  California 
will  1)1'  immediately  furnished  upon  request  and  data  contained  in  any 


S  CALIFORNIA    STATE    MINING    BUREAU 

of  the  following  reports  which  may  be  desired  by  persons  living  at    i 
points  lacking  in  library  facilities  will  also  be  gladly  supplied  whenever 
possible. 

Though  the  publications  are  listed  in  chronological  order,  according 
to  the  classification  in  which  they  fall,  the  attention  of  those  interested 
in  obtaining  a  full  record  of  any  particular  subject  is  directed  to  the 
index  of  this  bulletin  where  such  references  are  grouped  under  the 
proper  headings,  alphabetically  arranged.

DETERMINATION    OF    MINERAL   SAMPLES. 


Samples  (limited  to  three  at  one  time)  of  any  mineral  found  in  the  state  may  be 
sent  to  the  Bureau  for  identification,  and  the  same  will  be  classified  free  of  charge. 
No  samples  will  be  determined  if  received  from  points  outside  the  state.  It  must  be 
understood  that  no  assays,  or  quantitative  determinations  will  be  made.  Samples 
should  be  in  lump  form  if  possible,  and  marked  plainly  with  name  of  sender  on  out- 
side of  package,  etc.  No  samples  will  be  received  unless  delivery  charges  are  prepaid. 
A  letter  should  accompany  sample,  giving  locality  where  mineral  was  found  and  the
